The site is built with Jekyll, a static website generator running off of Ruby.
To get started with running Jekyll, just follow the instructions on their website here
If you want to make changes to the site there are a couple of things to consider:
Do your work on a seperate branch with a meaningful name, i.e. update-location or change-logo.
When you are done with your changes, then simply make a pull request to master
and the PR will undergo a review, and then be merged in if successful.
Do you want to add a game to our showcase? Just make a PR with your post file in the _posts folder.
If you are having trouble with this or have questions then you can use the
AurumKings post as an example.
If you need further help then feel free to reach out on our Discord!
If you have a change to the core site (i.e. CSS stylings that effect more than just your post, layout options, etc) then feel free to make an issue with what you think should change!
I always forget the commands for installing Jekyll and getting the enviornment setup. Here they are!
For Ubuntu, use the following commands to install jekyll and ruby and get the site up and running locally!
sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev build-essential
echo '# Install Ruby Gems to ~/gems' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
gem install jekyll bundler
gem sources --add https://rubygems.org/
Confirm your ruby install
ruby -v
If you run into issues try this command:
bundle update jekyll
gem update jekyll
To run Jekyll:
jekyll serve --watch
